MEOW WOLF’S PHENOMENOMALY IGNITES LAS VEGAS WITH SURPRISES, SPECTACLE & SURREALITY
Looking for an unforgettable summer adventure far beyond the realm of the ordinary? Pack your curiosity and head to Las Vegas, where Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart is turning up the imagination with Phenomenomaly—an immersive, otherworldly spectacle featuring dazzling performances, surreal environments, and brand-new spaces that beg to be explored.
Tucked away behind what appears to be a quirky supermarket, Omega Mart is already renowned for transporting visitors into an alternate dimension filled with bizarre products, secret passageways, and interactive storytelling. But this summer, from June 21 through August 9, the stakes are higher, the energy is wilder, and the creative forces behind the scenes have truly outdone themselves. Welcome to Phenomenomaly—a mind-bending, multiverse-hopping experience you won’t want to miss.
THE PHENOMENONAL PHENOMENOMALY
The centerpiece of Omega Mart’s summer programming is a cosmic celebration known as Phenomenomaly, a looping live performance that adds a new layer of magic to an already dreamlike world. This year’s story centers on The Legend of WermBloom, an epic journey involving the Flickerwerm—a mysterious, bioluminescent, interdimensional creature. Your mission? Help it migrate through the shifting multiverse of Omega Mart.
From 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. on select days, visitors will encounter dancers, clowns, puppeteers, and musicians performing throughout the space in dynamic, interactive moments. More than 15 performers breathe life into the show, blending storytelling with spectacle, all included in your standard admission ticket. The story loops, evolves, and reinvents itself, meaning no two visits are ever exactly the same.
LOCAL TALENT TAKES THE STAGE
As if the Flickerwerm’s pilgrimage wasn’t enchanting enough, Las Vegas’ local artists will also have their moment in the surreal spotlight. These weekly featured acts provide a rotating roster of jaw-dropping performances that elevate Phenomenomaly even further:
- June 21–26, June 30–July 3: Vegas City Opera fills the space with celestial sound, merging classical technique with sci-fi surroundings.
- July 6–10: David Matz’s Dream Factory unveils the mesmerizing Volta Wheel, an acrobatic marvel of balance and grace.
- July 13–17: Acrobats Holland and Sienna perform stunning feats of strength and motion.
- July 22–26: Cyrill Rabbath’s Juggle Groove Academy transforms juggling into kinetic poetry.
- July 29–August 2: Willem McGowan brings hypnotic energy with dazzling diabolo mastery.
- August 5–9: Percussive powerhouse Molodi wraps up the season with high-octane rhythm and body music.
Each act integrates with the larger Phenomenomaly narrative, adding fresh flair to every week.
NEW ROOMS, NEW DIMENSIONS
Beyond the performances, Omega Mart is evolving with three exciting new spaces, each a universe in its own right. These installations promise to surprise, soothe, or seriously trip out your senses:
- The Room Formerly Known As: Tucked into the Dramcorp HQ corridor, this dreamlike space is bursting with whimsical sculptures and surreal textures. A pastel dreamscape inspired by half-remembered dreams, it dares visitors to embrace abstraction and reach—quite literally—for an hourglass that may or may not change everything.
- Delulu Lounge: High above the factory floor, this low-sensory sanctuary offers colorful textures, soft lighting, and plush seating that provide a quiet escape from the chaos below. It’s a prime spot for introspection or conversation while gazing through bubbly portholes into the world of Omega Mart.
- THEM: Located in Room D-207, this bold installation from trans artist Whitney Lehn Meltz is both intimate and universal. With twinkling colors, an interactive digital mirror, and a hand-painted mirror ball, THEM is a tribute to identity, transformation, and joy—a poignant counterpoint to the whimsical chaos elsewhere in Omega Mart.
BEYOND THE MART: MEOW WOLF’S EXPANDING COSMOS
